It is beautiful the love showed to Prince around the world

We here have always loved Prince, even if we ourselves sometimes found some of his actions baffling. But it brought tears to my eyes seeing so much love around the world.

I so hope Prince knew how much he meant to so many people.

Yes! Here in San Diego they have the U.S. Grant hotel, the house of blues and the hard rock cafe all drenched in purple! Even the local newscasters wore purple today! I'm so floored by the love my city is showing my idol!

Smokey Robinson was on CNN and mention he was flying home from Cuba yesterday and didn't know about his passing, and as the plane landed he saw the LA airport piers, and the air traffic control towers lit up purple. Then driving into La he saw the city also lit up purple.

Beautiful.

And this was all on the SAME day he died. The outpouring of love was instantaneous around the world.

..and I'm in awe of all the music luminaries coming forward to show their love for him.

Again, simply beautiful!

He knew how much he was loved and loved everyone back just the same.

Sadly the Eiffel Tower picture is a fake (an old pic, unrrelated), as confirmed by French #1 newspaper Le Monde.

About love, I just meant the media was pretty rude whenever talking about him over his lifetime. It's a relief to hear none of that nastiness.

I agree. It's a joy and a relief that the appreciation is being delivered and felt everywhere. There were times in Prince's career where I thought he would be forever ridiculed, or even worse, ignored. The spotlight on his career and the accolades from the media just confirm what I've always known: Prince was one of a kind.

It is a beautiful thing. I truly hope that he knew just how much he was admired and treasured as our last gem. I think towards the end of his life especially the last 5 or 6 years he started to open up more and try to reciprocate the love we gave him.

I love it.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.
